On Thursday, Apple unveiled its lineup of broadcasters for Friday Night Baseball and the first half schedule for the 2024 season.
Per a release, the broadcast lineup remains the same as last year. Wayne Randazzo, Dontrelle Willis, and Heidi Watney return as one crew, while Alex Faust, Ryan Spilborghs, and Tricia Whitaker are the second crew. Lauren Gardner hosts studio coverage, with Russell Dorsey and Xavier Scruggs joining as analysts.
Studio coverage will be on-site during select weeks, including March 29, May 3, and June 7.
As it has since its launch in 2022, Apple will air two games each Friday throughout the regular season. Like last year, the 2024 slate won’t necessarily be a doubleheader each week. In fact, most windows this year start around the same time.
The Arizona Diamondbacks, Baltimore Orioles, Boston Red Sox, Houston Astros, Los Angeles Angels, New York Mets, New York Yankees, San Francisco Giants, Seattle Mariners, and Texas Rangers are all featured three times, the highest total through the first three months of the season.
Here’s the schedule for the first 14 Fridays of the 2024 season.
